Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP) and endovascular chemotherapy and embolization for the treatment of vertebrae malignant tumors. Methods Twenty nine patients (male 16, female 13) had 40 vertebrae malignant tumors, including 28 patients with 37 vertebrae metastases and 1 patient with multiple myeloma involving 3 vertebrae. The primary foci were esophageal cancer, lung cancer, colon carcinoma, hepatic cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, kidney cancer and 2 of unknown. All the patients showed moderate or severe thoracic and lumbar pain with 2 patients of spinal cord dysfunction. Eighteen cases with 26 vertebrae were performed PVP only, 11 cases with 16 vertebrae were undergone endovascular chemotherapy and/or embolization. Results After treatment among 29 patients, 16 had CR(55.1%), 12 had PR(41.4%), 1 was unsuccessful with PVP but pain was relieved by endovascular therapy. No complication occurred.Conclusions PVP and PVP combined with endovascular therapy may have an excellent efficacy for vertebral malignant tumors, with relief of pain obviously and prolong the patient's life.
